1) How is camera work used to create meaning?

camera work is used to create meaning through the use of a close up showing steed together with the hot horse shoe next to him thats burning the leather straps. This is used to create tension on the fight between steed and blacksmith.

Camera work is also used to create meaning when we are shown a mid shot of both Emma Peel and John Steed stood next to the window with the army base and shelters.

Q2)

the tempo increased on the music

they used tention to let the audience know about the severity of a situation, in. this scene they do this through music the music gradiently increase volume and tempo to show the audience that steed is in danger and that there is pressure in this scene. This is shown in the blacksmiths fight with steed where the music turns up when steed is seen by the blacksmith, the music then paces up when the fight is started by the blacksmith and steed almost gets burned by the horse shoe
